Welcome to Principles of Microeconomics on the
Web. I hope you find the course interesting and stimulating. Read this
letter carefully.

I am your professor for this course, although,
I do less professing and more facilitating in the online environment than
in your traditional face-to-face classes. This class is being offered
through the Maryland Community College Teleconsortium (MCCT). I am
a professor at Prince George's Community College, however, there will be
students in the class from Prince George's, Anne Arundel Community College
and Garrett Community College.

There is no on-campus orientation for this course.
All orientation materials are on the Internet. The only required trips
to campus are to purchase your textbook package and to take the final exam
in May. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to call
me (301-322-0477) or send me an email at pughmb@pgcc.edu.
